XPeng GX flagship SUV priced at 399,800 yuan

XPeng said on May 15 that its GX flagship sport utility vehicle will go on sale on Wednesday, moving the Chinese electric-vehicle maker from presales into a formal market launch. Gasgoo reported the timing, citing XPeng Chairman and Chief Executive He Xiaopeng, after the company had opened presales for the model on April 15. XPeng has set the starting presale price at 399,800 yuan, according to the company's April 15 release. The model is offered in both battery-electric and range-extender versions, marking a broader powertrain lineup than XPeng has typically emphasized. ### When does the GX actually go on sale? Gasgoo reported on May 15 that He Xiaopeng said the GX would hit the market next Wednesday. Because the report was published on Friday, May 15, that points to a formal on-sale date of May 20, 2026. Presales had already begun on April 15, XPeng said in its own announcement last month. (autonews.gasgoo.com) April 15 was the date XPeng used for a technology launch event tied to the model, according to company materials and coverage from CnEVPost and Gasgoo. XPeng also said showroom vehicles would begin arriving at stores from April 18. ### What price is XPeng asking for the new flagship? XPeng set the GX presale price at 399,800 yuan, or about $58,620 at the conversion cited by CnEVPost. (autonews.gasgoo.com) CnEVPost said that price made the GX XPeng's highest-priced model to date, a point that underscores the vehicle's position at the top end of the company's lineup. Gasgoo's April 16 report described the GX as XPeng's first full-size flagship SUV. (cnevpost.com) XPeng's own release called it the company's first full-size flagship SUV as well and said buyers who placed an order before the launch date could receive limited-time incentives, including a 1,000-yuan deposit offset against 5,000 yuan of vehicle payment and temporary free color and interior options. ### Is XPeng selling one GX or two different powertrain versions? XPeng said on April 15 that the GX would be available in a battery-electric version and a "super range-extended" version. Gasgoo used the same description in its report on the unveiling. The battery-electric version offers up to 750 kilometers of range with all-wheel drive, while the range-extender version offers 430 kilometers of battery-powered driving and up to 1,585 kilometers of combined range, according to XPeng materials summarized by Gasgoo and CnEVPost. (autonews.gasgoo.com) XPeng also said the vehicle is built on its SEPA 3.0 architecture. (xiaopeng.com) ### What has XPeng said about the GX's technology? XPeng said the GX carries up to 3,000 TOPS of computing power for assisted-driving functions and uses the company's second-generation VLA system, according to its April 15 release. The company also said the model includes steer-by-wire and rear-wheel steering as part of a chassis package aimed at improving handling in a large SUV. (autonews.gasgoo.com) The company used the launch event to emphasize safety, cabin space and software-defined features. XPeng said the GX has 11 airbags, a 3,115 mm wheelbase and dimensions of 5,265 mm by 1,999 mm by 1,800 mm. ### Where does the GX fit in XPeng's product plan? XPeng's April 15 release described the GX as one of the company's major model launches for 2026. (xiaopeng.com) CnEVPost said the vehicle represented XPeng's latest push into the premium segment. That characterization came from the publication, not from an independent market filing. He Xiaopeng's May 15 comment set up the next step. (xiaopeng.com) On May 20, XPeng is expected to move from presale pricing to a formal market launch for the GX, with final sale details likely to come from the company at that event.
